Il sorriso di Gioconda
by Jacinto Benavente
“All the others would be so easy to portray… Their history is so well known… The noble lordship of the one, the patrician haughtiness of the other, the perversion of the other, the stupidity of almost all of them… Any mediocre artist can make a portrait of them. But Mona Lisa, no; Mona Lisa is an enigma. Many consider her the most virtuous bride in Florence; many others believe her capable of the greatest recklessness; and no one would dare confirm either supposition.”
A one-act play, by the Nobel Prize in Literature Jacinto Benavente, for five men. The script is in Italian language.
